TSW Make Diminished, Minor, Major, And Augmented chords. TSW understand Triad Inversion. TSW sing mm 82-86 of The Clausen The water is Wide TSW Sing mm 69-86 with proper phrasing and dynamics TSW Sing Palestrina mm 1-5 with proper phrasing on words.

Lesson Plan:
Theory: 1.Talk about intervals and how to recognize them using sol feg 2.Cover Major and Relative Minor keys 3.Stacking intervals to make chords 4.Triad Inversion. Sight Reading: 1. Start with an excerpt from the 90 days to sight reading success book. 2. Ask the students what key it is in, what their starting pitches are, what their ending pitches are etc... 3. Chant the exercise. 4. Outline the tonic and Sing the exercise. 5. Discuss what was missed. 6. Get the students to gure out for themselves where the problems were and gure out how to correct those problems. 7. Sight read through again. 8. 30 second game. Rehearsal: Clausen: 1. Sopranos count sing mm. 82-86 2. Altos count sing mm 82-86 3. Tenors count sing mm. 82-86 4. Basses count sing mm. 82-86. 5. All parts count sing mm 82-86 6. All parts sing mm. 82-86 on words. 7. Sopranos sing mm. 69-77 on sol feg 8. Altos sing mm. 69-77 on sol feg 9. Tenors sing mm. 69-77 on sol feg 10. Basses sing mm. 69-77 on sol feg 11. All parts sing mm. 69-77 on sol feg 12.

Assessment/Evaluation:
Theory:
1. Theory Take home Test. (Attached)

Sight Reading: 1. Ask individuals questions about their key signatures, starting pitches, ending pitches. etc... 2. Play the 30 second game at the end of the exercise to see who is getting the exercise down. Rehearsal: 1. We will have quartet tests later in the semester. 2. Aural assessment of when sections sing alone and together.
